EasyJet passengers can now get complimentary lounge access with free food and booze – here's how | The Sun
09/02/2022EASYJET passengers can get complimentary lounge access when at Gatwick Airport – and it comes with free food and booze.
The airline first opened the lounge – called The Gateway – in 2021 in the North Terminal.
However, easyJet passengers who book a FLEXI fare can now use the lounge without having to pay for it.
Anyone travelling between September 1 and November 30 with the FLEXI fares can take advantage of hot and cold drinks, including alcohol.
There is also a full buffet, as well as free WiFi, charging points and quiet zones.
If travelling with kids, there is a games room and TV den as well.

Another new lounge has opened at Gatwick Airport and access is free – but it's not open to everybody.
The exclusive 'Roam Freely' lounge offers complimentary drinks and snacks alongside comfortable seating so travellers can relax before boarding the plane.
In order to be allowed in, passengers must be either O2 or Virgin Media customers and must book ahead.
A recent study found that Brits spend so much on food and booze before flying, that a lounge actually works out to be cheaper.
According to Holiday Extras, a family of four spends an average of £100 on pre-flight snacks and meals.
However, some lounges start from just £15 per person, while kids start from just £9.
